J3DWorkbench (J3DWB) J3DWorkbench is a runtime framework and desktop application for building and delivering interactive, 3D visualizations, simulations, and games. Based on Java 3D, J3DWB is a powerful tool, allowing you to create or import 3D objects and scenes in a variety of formats, animate them, adding effects and behaviors. Scenes and simulations can be played back with the tool, or delivered by HTTP to a web page using Java Webstart. No programming is necessary. Download for your platform now!

Technology
J3DWB fuses Java 3D with the RCP framework from Eclipse using the SWT_AWT bridge. The rendering pipeline uses OpenGL all on platforms, and Direct3D, optionally, on Windows (not recommended). Requires Java 1.6 or greater. Finished scenes can be downloaded and "played" (viewed) via Webstart, using the core binaries.
